US Classification:

Abstract:

A client application interface, or toolkit, provides a specified, exposed set of software components, or objects, for external user access. Development of a common interface for external user applications allows a remote access object model to define the interface corresponding to a base object model. The remote access object model, therefore, defines a generic toolkit upon which a user builds a custom application to suit individual remote access needs. Development of a single remote access object model limits regressive testing and provides a known baseline of tested functionality for the remote interface without compromising the existing base object model. Limited exposure of the objects in the client application interface avoids security, integrity, and inconsistency breaches. Therefore, the client application interface is operable to support the client application to emulate a specified exposure of a network administration and management application operations and functions via the remote access object model, or library.

Abstract:

An object adapter within a server application processes client requests supporting a plurality of object models by receiving a former client request requiring access to a former object defined by a former object model. The server application maps any former objects required for access by the former client request to corresponding current objects existing within a current object model and then copies current object data within the current objects of the current object model to former object data within an instantiations of the former objects. The server application can then process the former client request using the instantiation of the former object to satisfy the former client request. The system provides compatibility to former clients and allows them to remain in service when an object model evolves.

International Classification:

US Classification:

707102, 707 10, 707100

Abstract:

A system abstracts an object model by receiving an object model specification defining application semantics for an application to access, via invocations, objects identified in the object model specification. The system applies a categorical-based generator that applies at least one morphism to the object model specification to generate an abstraction interface object model that preserves application semantics defined within the object model specification and is independent of a middleware object access mechanism. The system also generates an implementation of the abstraction interface object model for a particular middleware object access mechanism used to access data within objects corresponding to the object model specification.

Abstract:

A system provides categorical mapping of valuetypes by receiving, as input, a valuetype within an object model specification. The system applies a categorical-based generator that applies at least one morphism to the object model specification. Application of the categorical-based generator generates an interface that exposes the valuetype in an interface object model and generates an implementation of the interface that exposes the valuetype in a middleware implementation object model. The interface and its implementation seamlessly support valuetype properties including inheritance, null values, native casting and arbitrary graph communication.

US Classification:

717108

Abstract:

A software build framework includes and architecture to identify software components including sets of classes, or objects, and categorizes the objects into layers in the component. A set of build rules identifies allowable dependencies between the component layers among the same and other components in the system, as well as external entities such as off the shelf (OTS) and third party vendor products outside the development control. The build mechanism enumerates a set of dependencies for each of the components, and an enforcer analyzes the dependencies to identify dependencies in violation of the rules. The enforcer separates the compile time and runtime inheritance paths to detect indirect monolithic inheritance. In this manner, dependency rules define an efficient and optimal architecture which lends itself well to modifications, timely builds and deliverable releases, and enforces the dependency rules at compile time so as to avoid generating an obsolete or suspect build.

International Classification:

US Classification:

717107, 717116, 717121

Abstract:

A system provides a generation tool that emits a method declaration in a coFactory, and further emits the method's definition in a coBridge. Locating a naming service is delegated to a server infrastructure, and names of the sought after interface and the required component are further emitted. The generative approach disclosed assures a proper type of a downcast. Errors are handled by throwing an exception if either the component or its interface is absent. The coClass implements the coFactories, and a developer of a component can access other component by simply invoking a method within the coClass, which is implemented in a coBridge.

Abstract:

A code generator generates component controllers by receiving, as input, an identity of a component and identities of dependent components of the component and applying a categorical-based generator that applies at least one morphism to generate at least one component controller to manage both collocated and remote access to the dependent components of the component in a strongly typed manner. Application of the categorical based generator includes generating at least one service-component controller for controlling service components that, during operation, are instantiated upon component server initialization to provide services to other components during component server operation and generating at least one session-component controller for controlling session components instantiated, utilized for services during a session, and terminated as needed by other components.

Abstract:

A system produces a component framework that insulates components from an underlying communication infrastructure by receiving a component descriptor that specifies fundamental properties of a component and receiving a definition of remotable interfaces associated with the component. A generation tool emits a component framework that includes: i) a coInterface interface that exposes the component's remotable interfaces; ii) a coFactories interface that declares factories for component operation; iii) a template for a coClass class, the coClass class operable to receive developer programmed functionality; and iv) a coBridge class that extends the coClass class and functions as a morphism from an IDL-defined component to an object model based, middleware-independent component.
